Customer Reviews

Blades are clear plastic, they don't looks strong, but hey, don't hang on them. They wind down behind the light, so it just looks like a light fixture when in use. This fan is very quite and sturdy. The light fixture is kind of big, but that's probably so the fan blades can't be seen. We get lots of compliments on this fan.

Well even though I purchased two of the Fanaways in May in process of a 3 room Reno they were just installed July 9; anybody who has ever lived through a Reno knows why big delay. As the title says I've had history with Hunter fans over 25yrs and fully expect the same function&reliability as I've enjoyed in the past.When I went to the website to look for ceiling fans I discovered the Fanaway and it was love at first sight soooo unique and I had to have them; everyone who sees them thinks they're great too!!!

I purchased this fan and had it installed over our new kitchen island. I had been warned against installing a fan in the kitchen by my general contractor, but my daughter talked me into this fan because of it's retractable blades.
I am very, very pleased with the kitchen light/fan. It gives a lot of light and quietly circulates the air wonderfully. It is almost like watching a waterfall when the blades expand and retract. I found it so beautiful that I placed a short video on my Facebook video, and my cousin decided to buy one too!
The fan was more expensive than I was hoping to pay, but I think it was worth the extra expense. I was able to take advantage of an Overstock coupon which reduced the price by 10%.
I highly recommend this product.

This is a great fan. Whisper quiet, 3 speeds, and can run fan with light off. The design is lovely and the blades retract and open beautifully. The only thing I didn't know - - or didn't sink in before purchase - - is that the light is a circular fluorescent tube. That's perfect for a kitchen, etc. The light is VERY bright. For the bedroom (where I put the second fan I purchased), I'd like to see if I can get a light that's more natural, less harsh, and if I can install a dimmer.

The fan is amazing, the foldaway baldes give it a sleek and streamlined look. It is super quiet and very effective at cooling. The light is also very bright and white. I have no complaints, I love this fan!!

I've been resisting installing a ceiling fan because I'm just not into the look. but when this came out, it was the perfect compromise. The fan blades retract when not in use, and leaves you with a totally cool light pendant fixture. I almost had to return this and overstock.com was so quick and responsive. As it turned out, I found an electrician who was able to install it so that I can use a light switch instead of the built-in receiver/transmitter. I have a super slopped ceiling, and if you use the receiver/transmitter inside the canopy, the fan wouldn't hang down vertically. After googling many sites, it turned out that the wiring is just a standard 3-wire that you can attach to a 2-way wall switch. Went to Home Depot and got the Hunter 2-way switch and an extra long down rod, and the electrician was able to install no problem. Also in googling, people were complaining how the compact fluorescent was too "cold and bright", but it was fine for us. You can replace it with a warmer bulb which we may at some point, but we're happy for now. The price here was $100 cheaper than Amazon but the price has changed since I bought it.

If you love great design and engineering-you're in luck. The super silent retracting blades make this an beautiful and hardworking addition to any room. The light is a little too bright for me, but that is a minor thing. I am showing this number off to all my friends.

This was a nice fan but not enough information about installation. When I got the fan I had to send it back because you need 8 foot ceilings to install it my ceilings are 71/2 ft. IIt would have been nice for that to be posted on the site. The return of this fan was very easy and good customer service.

Hello bigsis63, there are no pull chains on the fan, so the wall switch would have to have speed control capabilities.
The fan uses a remote control as its mode of operation.Yes, the fan only runs in one direction due to the retracting blade design. It only uses one (1) 40 Watt Circline T-5 bulb.
Thank you for shopping with us.

Hello ms9908, Unfortunately we do not offer an extended warranty on Hunter Fan Fanaway Ceiling Fan at this time. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!

I'm not sure what you mean by flush mounted. It's obviously got to be away from the ceiling so the blades can turn. I had my installed by a licensed electrician. There's the fan, the short piece that connects to the part that goes up against the ceiling and that part is flush, but it's pyramid shaped. It looks exactly like it does in the photo.

Hello, mrsdsnei. Hope your day is going well. This fan comes with two rods--- (short) standard mounting & (longer) for angled mounting. A rod must be used?Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

I am looking at the Hunter fan away ceiling fan http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hunter-Fan-Fanaway-Ceiling-Fan/5777957/product.html I like the fact that the blades retract because I will be putting this in my kitchen. Is ther a setting to bring the baldes out, without moving, for cleaning?

Someone answered my question about the diameter of the lamp fixture on this fan as being 48", that does not sound right as the whole fan is 48". Does anyone know the measurement of only the light fixture part of the fan?

How to Choose a CPU Fan

Whenever your computer needs to perform calculations it relies on the central processing unit (CPU), often referred to simply as the processor. When the CPU is in operation it generates heat, so it must rely on computer components such as a CPU fan and heat sink combination to adequately dissipate the heat. Without a CPU fan the processor will quickly overheat and become useless. If your computer's CPU has been running too hot, choose a new CPU fan that provides better airflow.

How to Clean a Computer Fan

Heat is your computer's number one enemy, which is why it has one or more fans to help push hot air out of the computer case and pull cool air in. Computer cooling fans are typically installed next to vents on your computer case, but your computer's processor may have its own fans and heatsinks, which sit on top of the processor chip. Dust and dirt then collect around the blades of each computer fan and may eventually cause the CPU fan to break or slow down. If any one of the computer fans breaks or slows down, heat builds up and may damage the processor or other components in the process. To protect your computer, follow these simple steps for keeping your cooling fans clean.

Tips on Using Fans

Indoor climate control is important wherever you live, and fans can help you maintain the optimum temperature in your home or office.

How to Install Recessed Lighting in Kitchens

Recessed lighting enhances your kitchen design with additional light.

Although it's not difficult to install recessed lighting in the kitchen, you will need access to the attic over the kitchen in order to install and wire the lights with ease. Here are a few simple steps to install your own recessed kitchen lights.

How to Install Recessed Lighting above a Shower

Adding a recessed light above the shower provides welcome illumination while showering. Recessed bathroom lighting is perfect for the ceiling above the shower because it does not take up any space over head. A special moisture-resistant bathroom light fixture is required in the shower because the area is subject to so much moisture and humidity. You may replace an existing light fixture or install a new fixture after an electrician runs the necessary wiring. Choose a simple recessed light or select a light-and-heat-lamp combination or a light-and-fan combination.
